I sit here day after day writing, with no writing group to go to, no fellow writers to share a coffee with [I'm an Aussie published in America], and I often find myself wondering if there's life beyond my computer. My backside balks at the idea of being planted on such a little seat (I can already hear the poor seat crying out, "Who turned off the lights!" ;) ) but, Jennifer, you've definitely inspired me to get up and look for life beyond my this screen.

I'm more your relaxed cyclist than your getting-fit cyclist. :-) I've not taken up anything recently but next year I'm planning a trail riding holiday on horseback. I haven't been in the saddle for a super-long time and I imagine I will suffer for that. I also imagine it will be worth it!Bronwyn Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720477786460767921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-25769813308010304622016-10-10T12:21:17.109+11:002016-10-10T12:21:17.109+11:00Hilarious, Yvonne!

I used to do a lot of needlework - cross stitch and tapestry and it's a great way to unwind. I've got several partly completely projects and I've been promising myself I'd find time for a little of that soon. Here's hoping! It always takes a conscious effort to find time to change routine.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.com
